k-THE HOUSTON HOME JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1990 2A Cotton, from 1A Watson, Ann Brannen, Jill Home, Grace Thames, Heather Wilder, Kelli Harold and Jana Herbert. The dance team is made up of 90 groups of girls from all over the United Stales. Only four teams in Georgia are attending. The girls will dance in the parcade which will be televised on CBS at 10 a.m. and during halftime of the game which starts at 1:35 p.m. Baxley, from ia she said, saying "I have seen a lot of changes." Baxley was the first woman ever hired by the Perry Police Depart ment. "When 1 started, there were four of us, now there are 33 of us.” In 1959, there was a chief, a day patrol officer and night patrol offi cer and her. Now there are four people in the detective division alone. Even so, Baxley believes there is room for more patrol officers. In addition to being a radio operator, Baxley "kccpls] labs on the jail and work the computer." She, and the other radio operators attended classes in the use of the computer system. "Perry was just a nice, small lit tle town," Baxley said of the days she began working with the Police Department. "The town has grown so much," she said, adding "the biggest change has been in the last 15 years." Now that her years at the De Trash, from 1A county and the number of apartment complexes in Warner Robins that made it difficult. Hafley and City Manager Marion Hay agree that curb-side reduction would not be cost-effective in Perry. At two City Council meet ings where the issue was discussed, Hay said that if the city went into curb-side recycling it would do so "because it is a good thing to do," not because it would make or save the city money. Hafley pointed to Boone, North Carolina where curb side recycling was begun. He pointed out that the "cost of the system was quite dra matic." Suggs has a different idea. He proposed to build a center where garbage would be separated into nine categories for recycling and the residue from the process sent to the landfill. However, Suggs had difficulty selling the idea throughout 1990. His original plan would have placed the center in Kathleen, along Hwy 247 Spur. Residents showed up en masse to a January County Com missioners meeting to protest the proposal. "I totally agree with the idea of recycling," Sharon Prickctt, a Kathleen resident, was reported as saying. However, she did not want the site in Kathleen. Residents noted odor, water seep age and rodent problems as their reasons for not wanting the center built in Kathleen. Residents also feared that he wanted the center on rail lines to import garbage for re cycling from other counties or states. Suggs responded, then, that the building would be cleaned daily and no garbage would be left overnight. However, the center, which he wanted to begin in March, was never built.

This year's theme is "Gametime" and highlights the games of children, teens and adults. Although there is a rigorous training schedule planned, there is also tiem for‘the girls to sight see and shop. After dancing at the game, the girls will leave Dallas on January 1 to return home. partmcnl are coming to an end, Baxley is looking forward to "doing things I've never had time to do." "I don't intend to sit at home," said Baxley. She may get a part time job, but she is definitely go ing to Florida with her sister and then to Savannah. "I'm going to miss the whole de partment," she noted. "This is my life, it is like a second home." Baxley's best memories are the friendships that developed at the Department. "We always cared about each other," she said, remembering "we'd sit around talk ing when we'd have the chance." With Police work, however, she said that was not terribly frequent Finally, Baxley said "I always enjoyed serving the people of Perry. She added "1 want to wish all my people a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year," saying she was going to go to a New Year's Party for the first time in many years. in charge of the Houston County landfill, the current facility is ex pected to last 20 years. An addi tional 200 acres which has already been purchased would increase that life to 40 or 50 years. Suggs believes that under his plan, the current facility's life could be extended to 100 years. Phillips believes the simplest area of reduction would be yard waste and cardboard, both of which arc recyclable. "The aluminum is already taken out," he said, noting that "we need a complete recycling program." The County, according to Phillips, will "probably look into a composting facility." He also noted that currently Perry does not amount to a large percentage of the garbage received by the County. There have been numerous at tempts elsewhere to reduce the amount of solid waste from house holds. In Vermont, according to Hafley, disposable diapers were banned. However, a "black market" of disposable diapers opened up, and people imported them from neigh boring stales. Vermont also began a household "paint drop and swap," which Hafley said "might be worth look ing into." The project, according to Andrea Cohen of the Vermont De partment of Natural Resources, is based on the idea to "reuse what is reusable." Here in Perry, another interesting step toward recycling has been taken. At the December 18 Cit Council meeting, approval wa given for the purchase of a truck load of garbage containers. Hug! Sharp, Superintendent of the Public Works Department, told the Coun cil that "these containers arc recy clable themselves." Santa, from 1A ”1 found out about Santa working through other people when 1 was four or five years old," Joe said. "My father was trying to fill our Christmas stockings with peanuts. He dropped those peanuts in the floor and they rolled all over the place. I knew then that Santa has lots of helpers.” "The best thing people can do Subscribe to day! Call Rachel at 987-1823!
